Yea, H&M surprised me. And I JUST got a couple pairs of Mott and Bow. I was reeeally skeptical about the fact they put spandex in their denim, I usually associate the weight of the denim with the quality. But I gave it a try…deeefinitely worth it. Super comfortable, great wash. I might get them hemmed, but that’s something I’m gonna start doing to all my denim. I like how straight cut feels in the thighs, but not how it looks around the ankles. Anyway, thanks for posting!

I’m just getting into nicer jeans and I’m 6ft tall. I play soccer so my waist is thick and my legs look like tree trunks. I recently found a JCrew 484 jean that is somewhat tight in the waist but has a little room to be tailored on the bottom. Off the rack for $100, it’s a pretty good pick up.

I’m 5″9 with a narrow waist, wide back, big upper legs and huge calves. So it’s always hard for me to find proper jeans for my body type, since I live in the world’s giant country (The Netherlands). This is why I tend to choose Italian made slim-fit jeans. Diesel, Dsquared2 and Mauro Grifoni have an excellent fit. I also love the American brand 7 For All Mankind.
